IMPROVEMENT IN VEHICLES.

"The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

' in an impro-ved construction thereof.

Figure lis a side elevation of a vehicle provided with my improvement, and

Figure 2 is a horizontal seclionof the propelling wheel.

Similar letters ofref'erence indicate coiresponding` parts.

A is the driving-wheel, which in this instance is in the front of a vehicle having three wheels, bntmay -be in the rear, if preferred, or in any other location.

B is the treading-rim, made in any suitable way,

and att-ached to the wheel A, preferably within the onterrinx Cfso that it will work a shortdistance above the ground; to avoid contact therewith, on whichdt would work badly owing to the breadth ol' the rim.

'lhe animals being placed in this tread-rim,`yas` represented in'ig. 2, and .cansedto work, will impart motion to the wheel and to the vehicle, as will be clearly understood. f v

Having thus described my invention, v

I claim as new and desirel to secure by Lett-ers Patent- "lheyconibinatioir of wheel A B C with a pair ot` wheels and body to forrn the running-gear of a vehicle, in the manner shown and described.
